Has anyone seen any marketing for this?

This team has a lot of raw talent but they're sorely lacking in organization, tactics, and discipline. But that's just Ligue 1 for you, Monaco are the same way, PSG didn't have to be tactical geniuses when they were steamrolling everyone.

Porto's subs and tactics were really garbage at the end there. Good game by Staq.

Hopefully he's enjoying a SUPER BOCK or two. Fun game btw, bad defending/goalkeeping on both sides. Staq so-so.

Expect anyone who goes on the break against RM will hero ball it and either bang it into a defender's shins, sky it over the net, or muffin it right into the keeper's chest, after which his two teammates will stand there with their arms open complaining.

Hopefully he's acing his O.W.L.s in defence against the dark arts.

Not too concerned about the awkwardness criticisms, he's still getting used to the pace of play/pressure. People dump on Ligue 1 a lot, but it is pretty fast paced. I think he'll recalibrate.

Definitely true but Dortmund's finishing was amazing today as well. Bit of both.

When Dortmund start clicking they're as good as just about anyone, especially at home, that's part of what happened today... in addition to Celtic just not being on their level and having no real test of their ceiling on a week to week basis. They don't know how to cover gaps when they press because Kilmarnock F.C. can't pick through them, and they have no experience (or evidently, desire) to sit deep and defend.

Kone off with an injury, seems pretty upset though he walked off the field. Hard to say, might have strained something.

Kone having a good game, has been turning and carrying the ball well and put in a couple good tackles. Strong on and off the ball. Cornelius pretty solid though Strasbourg has had some dangerous runs into gaps. I'd have to look again at Strasbourg's goal to see if he could have done anything different. Overall Marseille's backtracking and marking looks a little shaky. Have been making some sideways decisions when they get in the final third and turned it over where Strasbourg has space to run too many times. Don't seem to want to match their intensity level though Strasbourg have a lot of fouls. Surprisingly no yellows. They won't be able to keep their foot on the gas, I'd expect more sustained possession from Marseille and hopefully progression into more dangerous areas going forward. Strasbourg will still be dangerous on the break. Overall impression is that Marseille expected Strasbourg to be easier to play through and haven't dialed up their football IQ enough for the first 45.

Just like that tied for 2nd in Ligue 1 scoring

That was a beauty, one of those quick couple touch ones that looks like the Matrix

Wow perfect target play by Larin. It's got all the elements: bring down and control an aerial pass, draw in defenders, play teammate in with a soft pass he can take first time. Two thumbs up. Third defender abandoned Rodriguez to press because he didn't think Larin could keep close control then find him over his shoulder.

Man Marseilles are winning somehow with one man down from 5'. What a great team to be a part of for Kone and Cornelius, maybe they can give PSG a run for their money with Monaco also nipping at their heels. Early days.
